Default Lumping AT's into the mix as cause??

AT's downshift also & hold higher performance shift ratios than MT's, check out F1's or A-Burners. I have made a few (2) runs at GMR as of late, no more for me, that clip showed very very tame encounters compared to the last two runs I went on, and I'm sure many more have seen worse. The basic reason for their wonder driving is, THEY CANT DRIVE WHAT THEY HAVE, A Prius in the #4 lane on flat land at 55-mph is the option for those wonder drivers.

Take care,
